"Thank you all for your enthusiastic support and let me hear your shouts!" said the host's shrill voice over the loudspeaker, "Thank you especially to the royals for coming, I have my deep respects!" said the host on the platform on the side of the arena bowing deeply to the VIP viewing area.

The central arena had been emptied by staff, and a muffled roar could be heard from behind the heavy iron gates. Apparently the audience didn't realize this, and the low roar was swallowed up by the cheers of the audience. But Al's left hand jerked violently, just like when he had encountered a ghoul before, and the inexplicable sense of danger spread like a vine, which Al clearly captured. The surging sense of crisis even diluted Al's anxiety. No! It's more intense than encountering a ghoul, but it seems familiar.

"What kind of monster is behind the door?" Al squeezed his left arm to calm it down, wondering as he wondered.

"Today's competition is different from the past, the first game is the main event, so everyone present is in a good mood!" Sure enough, the host's words seemed to confirm Al's guess, "Tell me out loud if you want to enjoy the next exciting showdown!"

"Yes!"

I have to say that the host wearing a long tuxedo and a top hat is very good at mobilizing the emotions of the audience.

There was a sound of metal striking behind the door that had been roaring so much just now, and even the multi-ton iron door began to tremble, and it was obvious that this movement was perceived by many spectators, and many of them cast curious and fanatical glances there. The other door was the opposite, and from the time Al noticed the existence of the two doors, it was as calm as water, but it was not known if it was a loach or a shark underneath.

"My dear friends, be mentally prepared, and let me reveal the warriors behind the first door!"

With a crisp snap of the host's fingers, the hinges on both sides of the iron door lifted the iron door little by little, and the sound of the collision of the iron chains replaced the shouts of the people. At this time, the audience was almost silent, and people were quietly waiting for the first "Warrior" to appear on the Iron Gate, and of course, Al who was looking for the box in the sea of people, and he seemed to be able to hear his heart beating faster.

The iron door rose halfway and stopped abruptly, and you could see that the hinges continued to tighten, but the iron door seemed to be stuck motionless, "click", and the hinges shattered into a field of sawdust and iron rings in people's exclamations. A thick brown palm protruded from under the dangling iron door, clamping the falling iron door fiercely, long hairs covering the rough skin, this was definitely not a human palm.

Many people saw this scene and covered their mouths with their hands. Then a loud bang shook the audience, which instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the audience. The multi-ton iron gate was directly lifted out, a parabola was drawn at a low altitude, and then it was inserted straight into the boulder not far away. Flying stones and dust filled the exit, followed by heavy footsteps, a muffled sound was clear and distinct, and the big guy in the darkness came out.

A pair of scarlet eyes, two iron horns that soar into the sky, muscles bulging like a hill, heavy breathing and strong limbs. Out of the smoke and dust was an orc! or rather, a minotaur!

A sea of shouts and whistles erupted from the crowd, and it seemed that everyone was crazy about this new species that they had never seen before. The only one who stands out from the crowd is Al.

"How could this be?!How could the orcs who lived in the Green Valley Forest be here?" Al was shocked, the minotaur in front of him had an iron cover on his mouth welded, and there was an obvious wound on his chest that had not yet fully healed, apparently someone had done this on purpose to provoke him.

The minotaur, who could have spoken, could now only let out an unwilling low roar from his mouth behind the iron cover, his eyes were crazy, desperate, a curse on the crowd of spectators, and he angrily pounded the ground with his fist, pouring out the anger in his heart.

"Now, let's have the next one! Who will he be? Will he be able to defeat the ferocious Minotaur?

Similarly, another iron door rose in the eyes of the people, but this time it did not attract exclamations, but the people in the audience began to talk.

When the iron door was raised, Al also saw what was inside. Dressed in a crane, with a soap silk around his waist, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a narrow black knife in his hand, he looks like an oriental face. It turned out to be a person, a man from the Eastern Continent!

"How is that possible!" Al thought to himself, "how can an ordinary human be an opponent of an orc, not to mention that the young man in front of him looks like he is only two or three years older than himself, isn't this looking for death? Even a usually docile cow cannot be underestimated after becoming a minotaur, let alone a 'mad cow'." It's messed up, everything is messed up!"

The whispers of a pair of spectators reached Al's ears.

"Who is this young man? Is he here to be cannon fodder?

"Don't talk nonsense, you don't know who he is? He's a second-year student at Imperial College London, Li Shiyi, very powerful! Last time, I saw with my own eyes that he defeated Ellison with ease!"

"What? Ellison, you mean Ellison, the 'Imperial Warrior', was defeated by him?"

"yes! That's him! But this minotaur looks much stronger than Ellison, and it's hard to say who wins and who loses. ”

"Another Imperial College man. Al thought to himself, "Max, who solved the ghouls last time, has something to do with this academy, and another one, is this academy for cultivating monsters? Uncle Paul asked me to go to this place to find the person, could it be..."

Just as Al was deep in thought, the scene in the arena interrupted him.

The young man's face was expressionless, and his dark eyes seemed to be filled with endless night, making it impossible to tell whether he was happy or sad. He walked slowly to the center of the field, his left hand holding the saber at his waist and his right hand hidden in his long sleeve.

Nearly twice as tall as the boy, the minotaur didn't seem to notice the human who posed no threat to him at first, but the moment the boy stepped into the field, the minotaur noticed that the sword-wielding boy's entire aura had changed, and the black and white stripes on his robes seemed to outline him as a god seeking his life.

But how could the minotaur who was in the period of rage be frightened by this young man, he picked up the iron gate that had just been lifted off from his feet and threw it at the young man named Li Shiyi.

The whistling wind passed by my ears, and the iron door hit the protective net, and the huge impact made the protective net tear a hole, and it simply did not fly to the audience but got stuck in the protective net. And Li Shiyi just tilted his head to defuse this powerful blow.

Almost at the same time, Li Shiyi rose into the air again, where he had just stayed, the gravel shot out, it turned out that the minotaur did not stop after throwing out the iron gate, but immediately rushed forward, and the horns recast with fine iron slammed into the stone slab under Li Shiyi's feet.

Li Shiyi in mid-air was like a light white crane, calmly looking at the minotaur below, without saying a word.

The two attacks were unsuccessful, the minotaur was a little irritable, he hammered his chest hard, and then threw a punch with a windbreaking sound towards Li Shiyi, who was about to land, no one would doubt the explosive power contained in this punch, and some people even covered their eyes in horror, not wanting to see the next bloody scene.

Al felt that it was not that simple, and the knife-wielding boy had been dodging from beginning to end, never attacking. Like a cheetah hunting wildebeest, after figuring out the opponent's attack path, the next thing is a fatal blow. The sharp eyes of the knife had never been seen in Eyre.

Sure enough, Li Shiyi was still falling at a rapid speed without the slightest sign of slowing down, but just as he was about to be bombarded by the Minotaur's fist, his knife moved. The black knife in his left hand spun like a black sun, and in his right hand, he held the scabbard in his right hand, and tapped the heavy punch that came up, and his body shifted slightly in the air with the help of his strength, almost sliding down against the Minotaur's arm. The knife flashed, the knife was out, the sheath was put in, and it landed steadily, all the movements were done in one go, and the audience didn't even see the appearance of the knife blade.

Two heavy corners hit the ground with a crisp sound, and the two iron horns of the minotaur were cut off. The minotaur who had lost his horns collapsed to the ground as if he had lost his strength, his bulging muscles shrunk slightly, and his red eyes returned to their normal black and white.

After a brief silence, the crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers, and even most of them did not know the name of the boy from the East, but there was no doubt that he had triumphed, even with incredible ease.

"Thank you, I'm finally relieved. The minotaur, who seemed to be the same as the two of them, squeezed out such a sentence from his imprisoned mouth, and then weakly crawled towards an erect iron horn and let go of his hands.

Before Li Shiyi, who sensed that something was wrong, could react, blood was already gushing out, and the iron horn had already pierced the throat of the minotaur, and he twitched twice and went to another world.

The cheering crowd was still screaming, and no one cared about the corpse lying in a pool of blood, except for Al and Li Shiyi, who stayed where he was.
